Small Business Banking Services that Go Beyond the Basics

Growing businesses require banking services that can grow with them. So, if you’re thinking beyond business account management, the financial institution you choose to partner with should offer scalable options for growth like liquidity management, fraud prevention and business retirement planning.

• Liquidity Management: This small business solution is designed to simplify the short-term investment of your account balances. You can save more money or pay down loans without ever thinking about due dates. Think about using a tool like ICS, the Insured Cash Sweep® service. With ICS, you can earn interest on funds placed into money market deposit accounts—while maintaining access to your funds should you need them.
• Fraud Prevention: It’s essential to keep your business funds secure and reduce fraud risk. Fraud prevention services are critical as criminals become more sophisticated. Positive pay services can prevent against check fraud by comparing checks against an electronic record of checks that have been legitimately issued by your business. This allows your business to manage check verification and simplify daily processes.
• Business Retirement Planning: As a business owner, you want what’s best for your future and the future of your employees. Which is why you should consider partnering with a bank that offers employer-sponsored retirement plan options.
